Here is a bit of retro kitchen fun that actually works: chicken baked inside a brown paper bag. Sealing the pieces up with a tangy, sweet-and-spicy sauce traps every bit of moisture and flavor, so the meat emerges remarkably juicy and tender with almost no effort. It is a conversation-starting technique that rewards you with saucy, fall-apart chicken at the end.
